About the course
Aim
The course aims to provide knowledge of the basic relationships in classical mechanics, as well as provide an introduction to experimental problem solving. After completing the course the student should be able to:
- formulate and solve mechanical problems using laws of motion and conservation laws, and describe motion kinematically
- apply physics modeling and experimental problem solving
- use dimensional analysis in order to formulate a mathematical description of a physical phenomenon
- present measurements, results and conclusions in a written report
Content
Kinematics (linear and plane movement of particles, circular motion), relative motion (uniform relative translation), Dynamics of particles (The law of inertia, mass, momentum, Newton's second and third laws, the concept of force, frictional forces, angular momentum, central forces), work and energy (work, effect, kinetical and potential energy, conservative forces, potential energy curves) the dynamic of particle systems (motion of the center of mass, momentum and kinetical energy for a system of particles, laws of conservation), dynamic of the rigid body(angular momentum and moment of inertia, the equation for rotation of a rigid body), oscillatory motion(simple harmonic motion, the mathematical- and physical pendulum).
